Booted with 502 cdrom on my test box with wary5 (frugal)
it found the savefile for 500 and I selected it
it said it wanted to copy the 502 files across to the savefile partition
I said yes
it said it was doing so, cdrom flashed for a while and hd light also flashed
it said it had upgraded the savefile

I tried a few apps, worked ok

rebooted, removed cd, expecting it to come into 502 when I picked the wary5 menu item
it didn't, said savefile was last used by 502, do I want to upgrade to 500
I said no and it started in ram
checked out directory for upgrades, nothing visable, nothing found on a search

rebooted from cd
it started ok as 502
did a check and then search for 502 files
nothing found!

Manually copied the 502 files across to the 500 frugal partition (moved the 500 files to a 500 subdir first)
rebooted, removed cdrom
all came up ok as 502

I asked this earlier on another thread and got blank stares. I'm using my local LAN and each PC is in the same subnet.

Question: Is there a document or write up for Puppy so that one can SSH into it and get an Xwindow Puppy desktop?

If not, anyone know how to go about doing this if you have 2 Puppy PCs running? Want to SSH from one I'm sitting at into the other?

I Have never done this for anything other than console session on any Linux. So, I asking how to start and ...

Thanks in advance

Also All of my WARY tests, thus far, have been without issues. I have tested both, Iintel based laptop and 2 desktops, intel as well as AMD. All PCs have at least a 1GB on memory. System Memory reports just over 150MB of use, while CPU utilitzation idles at 1-7%.

it also wanted to copy the puppy.sfs over to the same location as the savefile and I said yes.

let it start up and was ok.

stopped my testing process here.

I wanted to find where the new puppy file was being placed

Eventually found it. What it is doing is creating a new zxxxxxxx directory for 503, copying the 503's zdrv.sfs AND puppy.sfs here **NOT** as it says it's doing (copying to the same location as the savefile).

copied manually to the correct place and rebooted

everything came up ok on reboot.

so that is the problem

shutdown for now.

Will go back to my testing processes later today, update this message if necessary.

ps zdrv hash is correct.

pps @BarryK for his pc problem, from a vague past memory, doesn't the default setting for memtest actually start testing at either 256K or 640K and work upwards, I seem to remember that you need to tell it to actually test below that, and different again for the bottom ram blocks, and this had to be done from a floppy start, it couldn't do these low areas from a hd start. Another thing to check is if the two "directories" on the hd have the same info, I do remember having a 214 install giving random problems when the second directory was out of sync to the first as linux will use the second copy in r/o mode if the first copy is "in use".

For my three PC hardware, the 2.6.32.28 kernel is better. At least, my two USB wifi work good(rtl8187 and zd1211rw).
In the 2.6.31.14 kernel(wary500), these two USB wifi could not connect to my wireless router(WEP).
Thank very much!

I reported earlier in the thread that I had problems with a sticky / jerky cursor under wary502 on my Thinkpad.

Pleased to report that this has gone away with 503 which runs AOK on both my ancient Thinkpad with just 196MB ram and also on my HP550 laptop. Haven't got sound on the Thinkpad yet but that is a common problem.
